can i call you up late at night asking if you miss me and hoping that you say you feel the same?
It's been a looooong time since I actually updated this thing. As in, a real entry. Ah! I have gotten a life outside of the computer!
Aaaaaand it's called a job. Wegmans owns my life basically, but that's actually relatively okay with me. I make good money and the people I work with are fantastic. And being a barista is actually kindof fun.
Other than that, my trip to North Carolina was absolutely fabulous and I was/am extremely sad to be back. I wish we could all just live there. And by we I mean my extended family and I.
In other news, I'm getting back in shape, slowly but surely. I've been shooting a lot, running some, and lifting...well, lifting not so much. But I will. It's hard to muster up the energy to lift after working a 6 or 7 hour shift.
Also, I leave for college one month from today. Which is kinda awesome and kinda scary. I have so much to do before I leave.
Like see my friends, for instance, all of whom seem to have disappeared. I haven't even seen my core in years. And that's no fun. And they partied not once, but twice, without me while I was gone. So while I was lying on a sofabed in my grandparent's living room, they were getting hammered. Great friends, right? Haha joos keeding. You guys know I love you more than life itself.
Anyway, to keep you all amused I'm going to do a survey which, I'm not gonna lie, is exactly the same as every survey ever created. (Does a little dance, because nobody else has ever done that exact thing in this exact spot. It's what I do whenever I'm feeling unoriginal. Which you might note, I am feeling. Just ask my little blob man.)
